In Sun/Moon you could trade/transfer in any pokemon from any gen and you could use them in-game. And that's because every pokemon has full models and animations in the game data. In Sword/Shield, you're limited to ONLY the pokemon found in the Galar region pokedex and that's it. The ones who aren't in the pokedex don't even have models, animations, moveset data, etc. So you can't use them at all. Period. Ok. But that still doesnt explain why people are making such a big deal about it. Play the older games if you want the older Pokmon. The newer games were made while thinking of newer Pokmon. I feel that would be the draw rather than playing with the same ones from other games. If they just kept remaking the same old game with the same Pokmon, that wouldnt be fun. Theres a number of reasons: * Ribbon Masters (collecting ribbons from Gen 3 all the way through newest games - some of those pokemon are not available anymore - and it can be a lot of work lost) * Competitive Games (the reduced dex is like playing in a standard tournament for Magic, while the full dex is like playing in legacy/Type 1) * Breeding (When new pokemon are released, sometimes breeding with older pokemon is an efficient way to teach some of the egg moves from older pokemon) * Nostaliga (Some players just like having adventures with pokemon that they have an attachment to for whatever reason - I for example have a Mightyena named after a dog that I have since put down) --- 3DS FC Scott 0533-5781-3558 Pokemon: Pidgey, Woobat, Rufflet <cite>aurick79 posted [p:929950612] in The Kanto ...
